And it wasn't a telescopic lens, he actually climbed the scaffolding to get that shot! What a man!

I love Russian churches. The way you describe it, I can feel the numbing cold myself. What a talented couple you make, and how lucky you are to have these photos and stories to tell. Absolutely beautiful. I feel more worldly each time I visit your blog. You're opening our eyes in so many ways! Thanks! Another fascinating story and photos. I love Russian churches.

When I read that Jeffrey tried to speak to that woman in Russian, it just shows that he was there, to be there. To really see. To appreciate. To learn and to grow. And your grasp of history and all its implications, woven together with the restoration within the cathedral -- simply beautiful. I loved this line, "he is instantly warmed by what he sees transpiring behind closed doors." I felt so cold! Reading the intro to this post. And with that line you took me right inside the real meaning of the story, and showed a deep level to Jeffrey's personality. I feel so privileged to be a reader of your blog!
